Frankfurt to Passau We got to the train station platform 15 minutes before the train was to arrived. However, when I started to look more carefully at our train tickets, I noticed that we only had 3 tickets for our bikes and we needed five. Gina and I quickly ran back to the ticket counter and purchased 2 more bike tickets ... we got back to the platform five minutes before the arrival of the train. Talk about cutting it close! As all German trains do ... it arrives on time ... but the bike racks in the train car were full ... we did not let this stop us ... we put our bikes on any way and took our seats.
